Perhaps the greatest challenge that Enemy at the Gates presented to Double Negative was how to serve the film's narrative flow whilst staying as faithful as possible to history. For the opening sequence digital matte paintings depicting Stalingrad's war-torn skyline were derived from an exhaustively researched 3D architectural library. Detailed surveys of surviving Stuka aircraft ensured an accurate portrayal of the dive-bomber attack. In the air raid sequence the 3D library was taken to its...

This short computer animation from 1988 contains a collection of dream sequences created using 3D particle systems techniques. Behavior rules are applied to thousands of individual particles to model complex phenomena such as an explosion, a snowstorm, a tumultuous head, and a waterfall. A Connection Machine CM-2 computer was used to perform physical simulations on thousands of particles simultaneously, one processor for each particle.

''Pasta for War'' satirizes a 1930's propaganda newsreel. It begins with fresh pasta marching towards the podium. There, the Great Dictator orates. A young recruit envisions formations of dive bombing bow-ties flying above columns of ravioli tanks, while he wades through marinara sauce to battle against utensils at the bottom of the sink. The realisation that he may die ends his fantasy, but his comrades march ever forward, to their impending doom - a towering pot of boiling water.

Fireflies lead us into an enchanting forest, where a magnificant tree is hosting this evening's serenade. At the base, we find a composer adding the final notes to his midnight symphony. Amongst the branches, a worker is diligently carving an insturment from the woods around him. Beneath the moonlight, the piece intensifies as we join the conductor and his orchestra above the canopy of leaves.

Microsoft came to Blur seeking a cutting-edge teaser that would add impact and energy to the unveiling of its future X-Box gaming console. With the visceral and energetic ''Two to Tango'' that Blur created, we were able to convey the emotion, intensity, and visual splendor that video games on the X-Box will possess in the very near future.

Join Edgar, the man, and Gigi, the dog on a walk through a wacky cut and paste world filled with drunk clowns, smoking grandmas, and sidewalk preachers. Who knows what may be down the next block, or what lies in store for Gigi and the end of the walk?This animated short was completed using Lightwave 5.6, blending 2D and 3D objects. The buildings used in the backdrop were photographed in Knob Hill, a section of Albuquerque, New Mexico, located on historic Route 66.

The title written in Chinese means the way to reach true knowledge. I tried to depict my own realization of the circle of life in this animation, the destined suffering since the birth, the paralyzed salvation after the death and the voidness of meaning. The only way to escape from the circle of life is to see it and to realize it, although the realization evaporates in a moment. I wanted to see it to show it.
